Great Card, Poor Customer Service

I purchased this card in November of 2017 to update an older PC in order to play Project Cars 2. I knew that I needed just a bit more horsepower to play it across the 3 screens that I had setup. This card delivered exactly what I needed and played that and BioShock: Infinite on the highest settings possible.
So why the 2 star review then. In December out of nowhere the card seemingly starts having issues crashing the games after 2-5 minutes of playing. I worked with the XFX troubleshooting guy to try and figure it out and had no luck. They said to RMA the card, so I did. Once they received the card they tested it within a day. Everything is going smoothly at this point. They were able to have the card pass all test with no fault found.
At this point I am sitting at home thinking about the fact that I am now going to be continuing to dive into my PC to find the problem. Which is pretty depressing since I thought I had tried everything. Then XFX to the rescue, "We are going to replace your card anyway." I was thrilled, until I see the model number of the unit they are sending me. I knew going in that I may not get the same card back but their policy states a card that has similar performance. Well they sent me the RX-560D4SFGR. Ummmm unless the only things that matter in performance of a video card is the amount and type of RAM then yes this card is similar. However there is much more to the performance of a GPU and this replacement card has a slower clock and turbo clock, less texture mapping units, and less compute units. I could go into more detail but I am looking at anywhere from a 10%-20% lower performing card at this point.
This is not a similarly performing card, sorry XFX, this is really even close to a even swap. I really had enjoyed my experience with you up until this point. And when i send a question asking you how you define similar performance. I get no response.

Good Even At Inflated Price

Best Buy had a momentary sale on this card which prompted me to purchase it. The card does everything I could think of asking it to do.
- Overwatch 1080p High/Ultra
- World of Warships 1080p High/Ultra
- Video playback minimum of 1080p great and fluid.
- Works well with Windows 10.
- 1 6-Pin power connector so the card can have stable power from the PSU rather than drawing off the motherboard.
- Performs above expectation with Debian 9.4 Gnome and KDE flavors.
- Runs warmer than I would like to see in Windows 10 initially but changing the thermal target in AMD's 18.x.x driver to 72C kept the card at a constant 67C while playing the above mentioned games. I like this since it means the card should last longer from less heat stress.

Surprisingly Powerful

I exchanged an RX 550 for this card due to a small sale going on, and I was extremely happy with the performance bump I had going to this card.
Installation was quick and easy, and the 6-pin power addition gave it the juice it needed for a decent overclock. By that point it exceeds a stock model GTX 1050 Ti, at a cheaper price point.
It plays most modern games in 1080p on a high preset (at the very least). 4K with less demanding games and e-sports also runs smooth with this card.
Anyone who has a little bit of cash and wants to breath quite a bit of life into their system, or a really good card to escape the iGPU ecosystem, this will more than satisfy your needs.

This is not a plug and play card. I installed it on a fresh brand new computer. It did work after taking it too geek squad every time it would boot up it would have these lines all over the screen and then finally the computer logo. Also slowed the computer at start up.
But once I was forced to do Microsofts worthless creators update the card stopped working then my integrated graphics worked (intel 630) All I get is a black screen with my cursor arrow...
I am going to Sell this card and get an Nvidia or just use the integrated graphics Ill sell it cheap

Surprisingly stout card

With 4GBs of RAM, this thing punches above its weight. At 1080p and max settings I'm able to run games like Doom, World of Warships and the new Unreal Tournament with FPS in the 50-75 range pretty much across the board.
This is also one of the fastest 560 cards because it has a dedicated 6-pin power connection, ensuring that the card is never power starved enough to lower its own clock speeds.

Budget card that works with 4K Video and VR

I've been incredibly happy with the value I'm getting out of this video card. It works well with Oculus and Microsoft Mixed Reality VR.
The price disparity between this card and the next level up is approximately $150 dollars (at the time of writing.) Given that cryptocurrencies are driving up demand for video cards, I don't see this trend ending anytime soon.

this card has outperformed my expectations and my 1050ti!! maybe its the added 6 pin connector but with a 1400mhz overclock this has outperformed my 1050ti in every game i have thrown at it!
i was not expecting the performance i have been getting from this card and if you are looking for a budget card i highly recommend this xfx rx 560 4gb

I highly recommend this card to anyone looking at increasing their gaming capability without spending too much. I typically get 60-85 FPS on games like Rust with max settings. If I tweak shadow settings in most games, I can even get an extra 5-10 FPS depending on the game.
I have yet to be disappointed in this card and should be considered by anyone with an older system that doesn't want to break the bank.
